Steffen Bleher thank you! I have been waiting for this for literally years.

Steffen Bleher Do you plan to implement it like one user described below: "Adding Tag Synonyms, etc. (e.g., #to-do #todo #task #tasks #reminder #agenda could all be 1 tag)"?
This offers massive benefits for information retrieval, workflow efficiency, and cognitive load reduction. No more missed notes, and we can use the first relevant word that comes to mind without pausing to check our tag history meanign our brain can focus on the content of the note, not the metadata. Capacities would handle the ambiguity, allowing for a more natural and fluid note-taking process so we can stay in flow state.

Steffen Bleher YAI!

Alternate keys for referencing/linking (an alternative title)

Use case examples:
Given a 'Source' object with title and key properties each being 'linkable' the title is set to the title of a paper (or book etc..) and the key to the reference manager's cite key (think Zotero etc). By inlining these as links in a note the reference to the citation is preserved on exporting the note to continue with the writing workflow in another tool that can be scanned by the reference manager.
Given a person entity with full name and 'also-known-as' property, both could be used to link back to the object. For example Basque person with 'official' name of Jose Luis is more likely to be known as Koldo.
See Roam for a model.

By the looks of it, this still has no priority. Too bad, because a second brain really needs aliasses.

Please yes. Just a global alias property would do the trick

I also would apreciate this feature as I'm switching between languages in my notes and I'd like to be able to use either language to refer to the same thing.
Also d like to use people's nicknames in my notes while keeping their actual name as the page titel.
Also, I hope this feature will not only apply to "page" objects but to all other object types as well. (Might seem obvious, but the title of the feature request is "page aliases".)

Just stepping in to encourage development to add this feature soon!
Use case:
Sole proprietorships, vendor relationships, just documenting the stuff to maintain a home.
I want to keep track of my plumber or water heater installer - by the name of the guy, as well as the name of his company.
Making a person object and an organization object (and an asset object) just to track a new water heater seems excessive. I really just want an organization object with a person property that can also be an alias.

Yup, agreed, this is sorely needed from different perspectives. Be it language, nicknames, different letterings or pronunciations. Please add this!

PLEASE. Same scenario as Sæb Har. Right now, I have to name a lot of objects with both English and Portuguese titles, but that sucks because it doesn’t generate unmentioned links. I also have many pages where I could use acronyms. In theory, I could force myself to always use the acronyms instead of the full names, but the problem is exactly that—forcing myself. I’d constantly have to remind myself, which would break my flow.

This would be especially helpful for anyone working in more than one language – as I'm sure the team behind Capacities will understand!
